MTLNOVEL Chapter 981: Awkward Entrance
Villain Ch 981. Awkward Entrance
Allen considered this, slowly nodding as he saw the logic in their approach. The exclusivity and immersion were key to making this event a success, and maintaining the mystique of the Devil Emperor was essential. "That makes sense," he conceded. "If we're going to do this, it needs to be done right. We can't let anything break the immersion. The Devil Emperor has to stay in character, no matter what."
Lisa added her voice to the discussion, her tone pragmatic. "We'll also need to brief the winners before the event, making sure they understand the rules. They need to know what they're signing up for—an immersive experience that's as close to the real game as possible, without any of the usual distractions.
It's about creating a memorable event, something that will stand out in the history of Hell's Gate."
Martin nodded, his earlier concerns seemingly alleviated by the way the plan was coming together. "We'll draft up the agreements and make sure everything is watertight. This is a one-time event, and we need to ensure that it goes off without a hitch. The players need to feel like they're part of something truly special, something they'll talk about for years."
Kafra smirked slightly, the gears in her mind already turning. "And we can use this as a way to build even more hype around the game. The exclusivity, the mystery—it's all going to add to the Devil Emperor's legend. Players who don't get selected will be dying to know what happened, and those who do… well, they'll be the stuff of legends themselves."
Allen found himself nodding along, the plan making more and more sense as they discussed the details. The event was shaping up to be something truly unique, a way to both engage the player base and preserve the mystique of the Devil Emperor. But a lingering question remained in his mind, one that could significantly impact the event's reach and the overall player experience.
"How about the other players?" Allen asked, his tone thoughtful as he considered the broader implications. "Will this event remain exclusive to just the participants, or will everyone be able to see it?"
Kafra, who had been following the conversation closely, tilted her head slightly, contemplating the question. "We have a few options," she began, her voice measured. "We could live stream it on the game's official site, allowing all players to watch the event in real-time.
That would definitely generate a lot of buzz and make the event feel more inclusive, even if only a handful of players are directly involved."
She paused, considering the alternatives. "Or, we could record the entire event and release it afterward, either as a series of videos or as a full-length feature. That way, players who weren't selected can still experience it, but in a more controlled environment. We'd have the chance to edit out anything that breaks immersion or doesn't go as planned."
Allen leaned back in his chair, weighing the options. Both approaches had their merits, but each also came with potential downsides. "If we live stream it, we'll be opening ourselves up to any unexpected issues or glitches. We won't have the ability to control the narrative as tightly. But on the other hand, a live event could create a huge surge of interest and keep players engaged in real-time."
Martin, who had been listening intently, nodded in agreement. "A live stream would definitely build excitement, but we'd need to ensure everything goes smoothly. The pressure would be on to make sure the event is flawless. Any technical issues or unexpected glitches could really dampen the experience."
Allen nodded, feeling a sense of alignment with the team. "I agree. It could be risky, but the payoff in terms of player engagement could be huge. We just need to prepare as much as possible to minimize those risks."

Just as he finished speaking, the door to his room creaked open slowly. Allen's attention snapped to the door via his screen, his heart skipping a beat as he saw it swing wider. A figure appeared in the doorway, and before Allen could even process what was happening, more followed.
One by one, his girlfriends entered the room—Vivian, Zoe, Shea, Jane, Larissa, Bella, and Alice—each dressed in sexy, dinner-style dresses that clung to their curves. They looked confident, their smiles bright and flirtatious as they posed like idols on a stage. Jane even had a rose clenched between her teeth, her eyes sparkling with mischief as she struck a particularly dramatic pose.
Allen froze, his mind going blank as he watched the unexpected scene unfold in front of him. The girls, clearly unaware that he was in the middle of an important online meeting, continued their playful display, their eyes only on him. The contrast between the serious, strategic conversation happening on his screen and the flirtatious spectacle in his room was almost too much for him to handle.
The situation grew even more intense as he realized that his camera had caught everything. The expressions of his colleagues—Martin, Kafra, and Lisa—shifted from focused professionalism to surprise and, in Kafra's case, poorly concealed amusement.
"Uh…" Allen's voice trailed off as he tried to find the words to address what was happening, but they refused to come.
Kafra, unable to hold back, let out a soft chuckle, her eyes twinkling with mischief. "Well, this is an unexpected development," she said dryly, clearly enjoying the turn of events.
Martin blinked, trying to process the scene. "Is this… part of the event planning?" he asked, his tone half-serious, half-bemused.
Lisa, who had been caught off guard as well, managed to recover her composure quickly. "Allen, it looks like your attention is needed elsewhere," she said with a wry smile, her voice gentle but with an unmistakable undercurrent of humor.
Allen, his face burning with embarrassment, finally found his voice and turned to the girls. "Uh, girls, I'm in a meeting…" he began, his voice trailing off as he took in the sight before him.
The transformation from confident, teasing seductresses to stunned statues was immediate. The girls, who had been so sure of themselves moments ago, froze in place as if the air had suddenly turned to ice.
Their wide eyes darted from Allen to the screen, where the faces of Martin, Kafra, and Lisa were clearly visible, all three looking equally surprised and struggling to process what they were seeing.
Note: So I read a suggestion that requested that Azura be one of the lucky players. I agree. But what about the others? Should I include Sophia? Or maybe Mila (James' sister)? Or maybe another new character?
